Sano - We Are The Animal Nutritionists
Modern animal nutrition, healthy growth – that’s what Sano stands for.
At Sano, we share our decades of experience and expertise in modern animal nutrition, animal health, and animal welfare with farming operations around the world. We offer our customers highly effective, functional products and concepts, along with comprehensive and expert advice. Together, we respond to the global challenges facing agriculture.
Our Sano feeding specialists provide personalised, holistic, and partnership-based guidance at eye level. Every farming operation has its own unique needs and goals — and we understand that deeply. That’s why we follow a systems-based approach in our consultations. This includes not only economic factors to improve farm profitability, but also animal husbandry practices — and, as a matter of course, the welfare of the animals.
Our Company History
Rooted in Grafenwald, at home in the world – that’s perhaps the most fitting way to describe the journey of Sano – Moderne Tierernährung GmbH. Over the past 47 years, Sano has grown from a regional animal feed producer into an international brand.
Throughout the years, Sano has expanded not only in regional importance but has become a globally operating company – now one of the leading manufacturers of mineral feeds, calf milk replacers, feed supplements, speciality products, and more.
Today, we are present in over 35 countries. We are proud of this development, as it reflects not only the growth of our company but also the passion and dedication behind our mission to shape modern, healthy nutrition for livestock.
A long-standing success story needs space to grow – and we continue to grow with purpose.

Our Values Make Us Strong – Five Cornerstones of Our Company Culture
How do we treat each other? How do we relate to ourselves and others? How do we act holistically and responsibly? At Sano, we have a clear set of values that shape our professional world. We live these values in collaboration with everyone we encounter daily — whether internally or externally, with our immediate neighbours or across countries. This creates cooperation at eye level, a solid foundation to rely on, and a togetherness that is lived and continuously developed.
Friendship
Reliability and trust are our foundations. We stand side by side and tackle all kinds of challenges together. This conviction is reflected in how we collaborate both internally and externally. We support each other with advice and action — united for shared success.
Commitment to Excellence
We believe true performance is not just about exceeding expectations, but the art of consistently delivering positive surprises. Our own high standards are the driving force behind this, as we strive to continuously improve. This means constantly questioning and optimising — ourselves, our processes, and our products.
Courage
Every day we face challenges, whether small hurdles or bigger tasks. With determination, focus, and courage, we make decisive choices and forge new paths together. We boldly embrace challenges and grow stronger as a team.
Respect
Honest collaboration, openness to other cultures, and responsible use of resources shape our thinking and actions. We value others’ opinions and treat each other with respect.
Holistic Approach
Always keeping the bigger picture in mind. We put ourselves in the shoes of others and consider possible solutions from all angles. For us, there is never just one way. The diversity each person carries and brings forms the foundation of our collaboration. Acting mindfully creates satisfaction and leads to success.
"Our commitment is to feed animals — and through them, people — in a healthy way. Our employees are the heart of our company. With dedication, passion, and loyalty, they shape a positive and trustworthy company culture. Their deep sense of responsibility is evident in every task and role they undertake. They are valued team members and contributors who, through their ideas and efforts, play a vital role in the success of our family business."
